Abstract

The present research describes a study of homemade meat products of wild boar shot with lead ammunition. Initially, X-ray radiography of the entire batch of sausages was performed to ascertainment the presence of larger lead fragments. Afterward, visibly uncontaminated parts of sausages were examined using 3D scanning microtomography and the presence of lead microscopic particles was found. The results of quantitative analysis reported a high mean lead concentration than the maximum permitted levels according to EU Regulation 1881/2006.
